Who We Are

Natalia Cajide

Psychologist & Breathwork Instructor

Natalia Cajide, Breathwork Instructor and Spanish Speaking Psychologist in Kew, Melbourne

Hi, I’m Natalia Cajide, a psychologist and certified breathwork instructor. I’m passionate about guiding my clients to discover the answers within themselves, showing that sometimes it is less about what you know and more about how resourceful you can be.

Therapy with Practical Strategies

Here in Kew or online

Blending reflective practices and breathwork where appropriate, my approach focuses on empowering adults to tap into their inner resources and find practical strategies for growth.

While I once believed knowledge was at the core of therapy, I’ve learned through my work as a psychologist that resourcefulness—finding and using what you already have—is where true growth lies.

Resourcefulness is at the heart of my approach to therapy, empowering you to tap into your inner strengths and navigate life’s challenges more effectively. While knowledge is valuable, I believe the key to wellbeing lies in discovering and using the tools within yourself to create meaningful change.

Support From an Experienced Psychologist for Anxiety, Low Mood, Chronic Health Conditions, and Life Transitions

  • Reflective and strength based therapy
  • Breathwork and somatic approaches
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

I work with adults navigating anxiety, low mood, chronic health conditions, and life transitions. I incorporate breathwork where it feels appropriate, using it as a way to help you connect with your body, reduce stress, and find a mindful presence. It’s a valuable tool for grounding yourself and discovering your inner strengths.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages, but older adults hold a special place in my heart. I value the rich life experiences they bring to each session and aim to provide a supportive space where we can explore your story, make sense of your experiences, and work together to find balance and purpose. My interest in the brain means I’m always considering how neuroscience can inform the strategies we use, making our work together both insightful and practical.

Creating a Comfortable Space for all Adults

Creating a space where you feel at home is important to me. I want you to feel relaxed and supported, whether we are exploring your story or making sense of your experiences. 

Therapy in Spanish or English – Your Choice

If Spanish is your preferred language, I’m happy to accommodate that. After living in Australia for over two decades, English is now my main language, but Spanish will always be my native tongue, allowing me to support you in the way that feels most comfortable.

Breathwork Compliments my Approach as a Psychologist

Breathwork is just one part of my approach. What I enjoy about breathwork, is it’s ability to tap into emotions we often lock away. It is more than a tool for relaxation, or managing anxiety, it can break down of defences and expose what is underneath it all. For some it’s the perfect companion to traditional therapy methods.

What to Expect in Therapy with Natalia

Therapy is about growth and discovery—a chance to find new perspectives, tap into your inner resourcefulness, and enhance your wellbeing. I look forward to meeting you, exploring your path together, and finding ways to help you live a more connected, meaningful life.
